Jack in the Box Focus on Growth

 

Building sales requires inviting new consumers to try the brand.  Jack in the Box is focused on building top-line sales and bottom-line profits at each store by inviting a new generation of consumers by sending out a new message / invitation with the assistance of Jason Derulo, his fans and followers, according to Steven Johnson, Grocerant Guru® at Tacoma, WA based Foodservice Solutions®.

When, Jack in the Box announced a partnership with award-winning singer, songwriter, and TikTok extraordinaire, Jason Derulo, who is dancing his way into the kitchen with the fast-food restaurant, it was clear Jack in the Box branded messaging was once again gaining relevance. Limited time offers are a great way to expand your brand messaging.

So, when Derulo hit another million followers on TikTok, and marked the occasion by celebrating the million milestone with his infamous tradition -- creating his signature “Milli Meals” --  a larger-than-life dinner or dessert featuring bizarre ingredients. To further elevate the Milli Meals, Derulo and Jack in the Box are taking their culinary abilities to the next level, with creating not just a Milli Meal, but a whole restaurant exclusively available on Uber Eats.
